Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust - Free From Fear Programme 2024/25

Details

This programme offers grants between £75,000 and £150,000 to address the impact of domestic abuse and support initiatives aimed at having a long-term effect in preventing domestic abuse in serving Armed Forces communities or assisting those affected.

Projects will be expected to achieve one or more of the following outcomes:

  • Deliver effective, preventative and educational measures regarding domestic abuse within Armed Forces communities, by addressing emerging and current challenges.
  • Provide clear routes, or remove barriers, to enable victim-survivors to access effective support, including the ability to recognise and report domestic abuse.
  • Establish long-term, sustainable improvements and adaptation of support to meet the evolving needs of victim-survivors.

The Trust is interested in projects that are actively aware of additional factors that might present additional barriers in accessing support. This could include those with disabilities, foreign and Commonwealth families, the LGBT+ community or Armed Forces serving personnel and families who are located overseas.
